OK, I'll qualify that - it is shown a lot on the BBC's second channel, where more minority things tend to get shown. TXF was originally shown on this channel - obviously expected to get a cult following rather than a mainstream one. But, it did so well, they did the classic thing and brought it onto BBC1 - well you know the rest: since then, they have thrown away their audience and now they mess the remaining audience around as much as possible, to test our resilience, perhaps!
In fact, good programmes are sometimes tossed aside in favour of live snooker coverage. I know, it sounds stupid, but sport does seem to lead the way in dominating the schedules. If an event runs late, or the result isn't conclusive in the scheduled transmission, then the transmission is allowed to run over. To hell with those looking forward to their favourite programmes... Moan, moan, moan......
